Last week for Liverpool FC summed up the club's entire 2012/2013 season, thus far. A 0-2 loss early in the week to Zenit St. Petersburg in the Europa League did nothing for building confidence, especially after being dominated the prior weekend by West Brom. Just when you think an out-of-control-downward-spiral is immenent, Liverpool springs back to life with an overwhelming 5-0 win against Swansea.
Weeks such as Liverpool's last leave me scratching my head in confusion. One match they resemble the struggling side from last season, the next leaves me wondering how the club is mid-table and not at the top with the Manchester clubs. It's been a roller coaster ride, that's for sure. The moments of brilliance in team play exhibited in the most recent game against Swansea are hard to ignore. I consider myself to be pretty optimistic, so I will continue to hold on to those glimpses for what could come in the near future (hopefully).
For now, I think the ESPN staff at Soccernet.com, and the club's coach Brendan Rodgers have both described the season to a "T" by granting Liverpool the title of "consistently inconsistent." This season has had its peaks and valleys, but it's hard not to enjoy the ride. Walk on, walk on boys and girls...
